About 0H5V3ZZ
0H5V3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the bilateral breast using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.
In plain terms, this corresponds to excision or destruction of breast tissue, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.20).
For a different body part, codes include 0H5T3ZZ (right breast), 0H5U3ZZ (left breast), 0H5W3ZZ (right nipple) and 0H5X3ZZ (left nipple).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0H5V0ZZ (open), 0H5V7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0H5V8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 584 (Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 585 (Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
